Should I Go Carnivore? The Top Question I’m Asked Every Week

Why Meat-Only Isn’t Your Autoimmune Fix (and What Your Gut Really Needs)

Have you ever wondered if going carnivore might be the answer to your autoimmune flares, gut issues, or relentless fatigue?

You’re not alone—and this episode is for you.

Inside this powerful episode of Autoimmune Simplified, we’re tackling one of the biggest trends in the wellness world: the carnivore diet. You’ll hear why it seems to work at first—and why it may do more harm than good in the long run if you’re living with autoimmune issues.

We’re unpacking:

• Why the carnivore diet brings short-term symptom relief

• What’s missing when it comes to long-term healing

• The critical connection between gut health, diversity, and resilience

• The real root causes of autoimmune flares (spoiler: it’s not your broccoli)

• What your gut actually needs to regulate inflammation and rebuild tolerance

Plus, I’ll walk you through a smarter, more sustainable path to relief—without swinging from trend to trend or fearing every food group.

If you're tired of feeling stuck, scared of food, or constantly chasing the next "fix," this is your sign to pause—and listen.

🎧 Tune in to learn:

• What short-term relief on carnivore is actually telling you

• How plant diversity fuels your microbiome, mitochondria, and immune system

• Why resilience—not restriction—is the real path to healing

• Foundational strategies that restore energy, calm inflammation, and build food freedom

Ready to stop surviving on restrictions and start building a body that can thrive on real nourishment?
